June 2019 challenge

[Cheeseburgh 3,084]

I’m not going to attempt mountain climbers again, it almost killed me last time. I worked out this morning to make up for it. I started making a positivity playlist on Spotify, so far I only have 4 songs in it, but there’s no rush.

Hi @Sheribear68 and @sillykitty Glad to see you are hanging in there. This weekend will be busy with Fathers Day I imagine. I hope everyone is doing well.

I may be typing into the void but I like having something to be accountable for and so far this has been working for me.

6/13- 15th:

I really struggle to give out compliments, mostly because I want to remain unseen but I complimented the Cinnabon guy on his preparation of amazingly perfect cinnamon rolls. I did not eat any 😂 but downside - my BF thought i was flirting 😳 so i only gave out the one compliment 😥

I went exploring distraction free (mostly because i had no cell service and a nearly dead battery (😭🚫) and it was pretty amazing to be honest.

Positivity playlist totally completed (even if its just 4 things for really rough days) 😍

Oh, I didn't quit. I hit my six month mark and my mother arrived for a visit. Now she's with my brother until she comes back next weekend so refocusing now. I hope I did 3 compliments without being conscious of it. Um, for exploration, we went to the local shopping center/village and poked around. I think my exploration was actually choosing things to try on and going into the dressing room with them and trying them on. They all fit! I came home with two...but part of me got very emotional about it. Regarding playlists...I don't have any...except that most of my music is on my ipod and I trust it to play what I need or I can choose whatever I might want to hear. Today...treating myself...just a nice quiet Sunday really...heading to the gym, maybe get some more plants, probably watch a movie later...

And may your Sunday stay just that smooth!

How do I treat myself TODAY, A the 26th? Only think that comes to mind, instead of just an 8 oz glass of 1% milk I shall have an Atkins Lemon Bar or a Lemon vanilla Protein Wafer Crisp bar. Really really like the latter, the closest I'll ever come to those Sugar Wafer Cookies I once loved
And these have 4 g Fiber, 11g protein,1g sugars and 3g net carbs. A whole lot better than those candy bars Wal-Mart stocks next to their check-outs. Even the few non- chocolate are Dietary H***!.

And yes I know TODAY is only the 16th, obviously this smartphone wants it to conclude sooner. Don't know why, it won't be fed its Verizon card until July 1st at the soonest!

Sunday did the leg raises, that is actually one of the daily exercises I do, squats I do every other day so I’ll do that today. I’m going to the gym this morning to do cardio then I’ll do the short core class.

My game plan is to stick to my game plan.

Father’s Day dinner was really easy to make healthier. Smoked a Cuban citrus mojo Marinated Pork loin roast with a fresh corn salad. It turned out fantastic and we have a lot of leftovers.

I’m still figuring out what my final goal weight is. It is strange, I thought my weight loss would slow down even more at this point but I’m still losing around the same rate. I have not changed my diet since I still want to lose, I think I know where my body will settle. I guess I’ll find out!

6/16 & 6/17:

Went to the gym then had real icecream. It was a shared experience so I did feel crazy 😍

Working on actualization of day 10's plan 🏆

Hi Everyone!

My name is Rosie and I had the sleeve done in Dec 2016. I lost 100 lbs and I was so excited. Fast forward to 2018, my husband dies. I meet my now husband and gain 50 lbs. Yes I got comfortable. I miss the old me! The more confident me. So since then I started seeing a psychiatrist to address my food addiction tendencies. I am now on medication to help with my ADHD and depression, which I Feel contributed to my weight gain. I am attempting to be more mindful in my eating. I'm here for support and encouragement. My husband wants to lose weight, so I'm doing the Dr. Now caloric diet. Heavy on Protein and light on carbs. Today is day one! Woohoo! I'm excited about whats in store by both fixing my head space and how much I eat.

Mental health cleanse 17 – take your Day 10 reflections and turn them into a game plan.

One way I want to be remember is for being the fun grandma. I’m hiding fairy’s and gnomes in a large willow tree for my grandkids. After I pass away, I am leaving instructions in my will. I’m leaving instructions/clues to find boxes buried under the tree with photos and memories.

Oh man, I may quit the fitness part of the challenge, or at least pick and choose. I'm too far behind and catching up might just kill me!

I have though been walking, a lot (for me). I'm also maintaining below 130. So I'm still considering myself mostly on track for this challenge!

Action shot of me hiking from this weekend!
